Weekend Wonders.

Weekends are fundamental to a well lived life. Emily and I enjoyed a beautiful weekend around the table.

Friday night we dined at Cafe Madrid in Dallas. Roasted Piquantes with Goat Cheese, Grilled Pork Loin with chimichurri, Potato Tortilla with Garlic and Parsley Aioli, and Sauteed Spinach with Pine Nuts, were fabulous. And when you combine these great taste with the relaxed European feel of Cafe Madrid and a glass of wine the weekend kicks off to a great start.

Saturday Emily fixed our ritual oatmeal pancakes with maple syrup and fruit, we shopped for plants to put in our garden out back, and then enjoyed the evening with our friends Jon and Mandy. We had great Italian wine, Margarita Pizza with Pesto, Prosciutto Pizza with parsley from my garden, and plenty of Antipasto. The outdoor meal ended with my devils foods dark chocolate cake topped with honey cream.

Sunday we had our Bible Class over for an old fashion pot luck of Brisket, potatoes, Salad, Broccoli, and Strawberry Trifle. What a blessing it is when Christians gather to share a meal.
We finished the weekend planting our new babies in our garden. Come by this summer for heirloom tomatoes, green beans, peppers, and bountiful herbs.

Have a tasteful day.
